Paint Chip Easter Banner

A BIG THANK YOU to the person who came up with this idea last year. I'm not sure where I saw it, but I'm grateful! : )

It made for a fun afternoon with my girly-girls last Spring. : )


Children always LOVE to stencil!
Hi, cutie!!! :-D





Have fun, if you try it too, and...Happy Spring!!!

The Traveling Gnome AND......Sebastian

I FINALLY made something new for my Shop, since Christmas. Here he is in all his glory. : )

Have you seen how others will take these little guys along with them and pose him in front of all their destinations? Too fun!

This got me remembering my promise to show you all the places I took "Sabastian" after I purchased him in Canada during our Cruise last Fall. So, here you go........


Peggy's Cove, below.



Below: next to Angel Moroni at the Halifax Nova Scotia LDS Temple. I REALLY should have photo-shopped that pipe out of there!!!!!
He even came to dinner with us one night while dining on the Ship.
Below: waiting patiently on top of the luggage, while waiting to disembark.
We had a few hours to kill in New York, before flying home that afternoon. Below, Sabastian is proudly posing in front of the Grand Central Station clock.
And keeping company with "Captain Jack Sparrow" during a Photo Op.
And of course, he rode "First Class" on the flight home. Ha!

Home safe and sound (above) in the guest bathroom. He looks pleased.
Happy Travels!!

Kate Spain Quilt Top

Okay, no laughing from the "Peanut Gallery"!!! I know it's February.

The pattern is called Season's Greetings from 'Crazy Old Ladies'. And uses Kate Spain '12 Days of Christmas' collection.
This was so fun (and easy) to put together.









Merry.............February. ;-)

But First...A Fun Girls' Night Out...

The Girly-Girls and I went out for a little fun last night and thought we'd share some of the cute things we saw. First stop, Kirklands:
"Whooooo" wouldn't want one of these???!!!

I bought this cute little typewriter piggy bank, below. Couldn't resist!!

Next...off to Target, Pier 1, and Michael's. Does the cute-ness NEVER end???
Then home to watch a few episodes of The Brady Bunch. I bought the whole First Season recently so we could watch it from the very beginning (which starts with the Wedding Day of Mr. and Mrs. Brady). The girls LOVED it! Ha! : )


As the sign reads, "The love of a family is life's greatest blessing". So true! : )
